Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS or SDS) is an important document that is a widely used system for cataloging information on chemicals, chemical compounds, and chemical mixtures. MSDS can provide detailed information on the properties of hazardous ingredients and chemicals and their health and safety effects on humans in the workplace. MSDS should be available for reference in the area where the chemicals are being stored or in use. Depending on national requirements, MSDS formats can vary from source to source within a country. Normally, MSDSs should include the following information:
SECTION 1: Identification of the substance/mixture and the company /undertaking
1.1. Product identifier
1.2. Relevant identified uses of the substance or mixture and uses advised against
1.3. Details of the supplier of the safety data sheet
1.4. Emergency telephone number
SECTION 2: Hazards identification
2.1. Classification of the substance or mixture
2.2. Label elements
2.3. Other hazards
SECTION 3: Composition/information on ingredients
3.1. Substances
3.2. Mixtures
SECTION 4: First aid measures
4.1. Description of first aid measures
4.2. Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
4.3. Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
SECTION 5: Firefighting measures
5.1. Extinguishing media
5.2. Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
5.3. Advice for firefighters
SECTION 6: Accidental release measures
6.1. Personal precautions, protective equipment, and emergency procedures
